Ellen Eilers
Bio:
Ellen Eilers, now in her 80’s, has been drawing or painting since
childhood. During her years as an elementary school teacher and as a mom
of four children, painting was her hobby. Then about 40 years ago, it
became her profession.
She has always enjoyed a variety of methods and media, including oils,
acrylics, watercolors and collages as she translated moods, interests
and ideas into paintings.
Although she received training in art in college, she credits the most
meaningful help from outstanding nationally known workshop instructors
such as Edgar Whitney, Zoltan Szabo, Frank Webb, Cheng Khee Chee, Raleigh
Kinney and many others.
Her work has often won recognition, such as four consecutive “originality
and creativity” awards from the artists of Minnesota organization
and an “Artist of the Year” award from a 9 county arts council
and awards for her entire display including the Charles Seeley Memorial
Award for best exhibit in a new Richmond, Wisconsin Art Show and a second
place display award at a Galena Illinois art show. Her stylized landscapes”
are a favorite.
She shares her enthusiasm for creating art with others in art organizations
and in her teaching of watercolor classes.
Her paintings are now found in most states as well as abroad.
